Hi,
I am preparing for Platform Developer 1 Certification. Previously I have used SalesforceBen practice exam courses for Salesforce certifications but seems like they have discontinued their courses.
Could you please share practice exams courses for Platform Developer 1 Certification?Some links to the free practice exam would be great too.
Thanks in advance.
Hi @Rohit Kumar, as this happened on 12th May, Is there any case number that you have raised with trailhead help for this issue?

Heads Up: Public Sector Accredited Professional Is Becoming a Salesforce Certification
Starting October 27, 2026, the Salesforce Accredited Agentforce 360 for Public Sector Professional credential will officially transition to a Salesforce Certification — becoming the Salesforce Certified Public Sector Solutions Consultant. Also, exam pricing will change (effective October 27): USD 150 (retakes USD 150) → USD 200 (retakes USD 100).
This move aligns the credential with Salesforce's globally recognized certification standards, reflecting the rigor and value of what you've already earned or are working toward.
What this means for you:
We know change can raise questions, so we've put together resources to help you prepare:

Hi Community,
I’m having an issue with the system test for my Salesforce certification exam. Every time I try to run it, I receive the following message:
“You are not logged in.”
I’m accessing the system test using the link and code that were sent to me by email a few days before the exam, so I believe I’m following the correct process.
So far, I’ve already tried:
Unfortunately, I keep getting the same “
You are not logged in” error.
My main concern is that my exam is already scheduled, and I would like to know whether
this issue with the system test could prevent me from accessing the exam on the actual exam day, or whether the exam login works differently.
Has anyone experienced the same issue? Is there anything else I should check or do before the exam?
Thanks in advance for any help!
